Drawbacks and solutions for the Meilisearch document indexer

Apologies for this OT question: Why do folks point out that programs are written in rust so often and so prominently? Am I just seeing a pattern that isn't there?

Rust is 9 years old, so it shouldn't be interesting that something is written in rust merely because it's a "new" language.

Anecdotally, I see "written in [Javascript, C, C++, python, ...]" much less often.

From my experience, Rust programs are consistently high quality, just work, and deploy easily. I've rarely seen any well-known Rust projects that are garbage. Since Rust is still emerging in the corporate world, those proficient in it tend to be passionate engineers who take pride in writing solid code.

Rust’s steep learning curve is a pretty good filter too :)
